NCHA warns of economic consequences of foot-and-mouth disease outbreak - Libya


The National Center for Animal Health (NCAH) has warned about the severe economic consequences that might arise from the spread of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). 

The NCAH has predicted a surge in meat prices, particularly during the approaching Ramadan season, when the demand for meat is typically high. Furthermore, the prices of sacrificial animals during Eid al-Adha are likely to increase if the crisis remains uncontained.
